Background
"“The company will collect more data than ever, if you allow it, and it will offer you enticements to share that data,” wrote VentureBeat’s Dean Takahashi in an op-ed back when Actions was first previewed.
“[Facebook] can, for instance, take your information and mine it for useful nuggets. It can give you back statistical information about your behavior that you didn’t know about… If there was any doubt that Facebook is a data mining company with a lot of ‘big data,’ that ended today.” VentureBeat
